Original Abstract Submitted

An estimation device () includes: a collection unit () configured to collect alarms which are issued when a device constituting connection equipment is in an abnormal state, the connection equipment connecting a building in which telecommunication equipment is accommodated to an ONU disposed in a house of an individual user, and including a cable having a plurality of first core wires branched by a 4SP, an 8SP for branching the first core wire into a plurality of second core wires, and equipment that connects the second core wire to the ONU; and an estimation unit () configured to estimate in which section of the connection equipment a failure has occurred, based on a type of the collected alarm and the equipment for which the alarm has been issued.
